DC's aquatic superhero has already made a big splash in China with an enormous box office opening of $94 million and now it's time for the rest of the world to take the plunge.
Already known in the sci-fi and fantasy genre for his roles in Stargate: Atlantis and Game of Thrones, Jason Momoa returns this December as the trident-wielding Justice League member.
As 'Arthur Curry' he's half-human and half-Atlantean heir to the undersea kingdom of Atlantis, but finds himself facing off against his half-brother 'King Orm' (Patrick Wilson) who wants to unite the seven underwater kingdoms in a war against the polluting surface-dwellers.
Torn between two worlds, Aquaman is helped in his quest by Amber Heard's warrior 'Mera', who was raised by Arthur's mother 'Queen Atlanna' (played by Nicole Kidman).
Created in 1941 by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger, the comic book character hasn't always had the best PR and has often been the butt of many jokes in the comedy world and popular culture.
Jason Momoa has certainly brought a very different brawny, fun-loving, tattooed surfer-dude vibe to the superhero in his cinematic outings.
These supercool Aquaman film billboards were photographed in the skies of L.A. along Westwood Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard, Highland Avenue, Cahuenga Boulevard, Beverly Boulevard, La Brea Avenue and Pico Boulevard from November 27 to December 2, 2018.
Fans of the aquatic superhero can also check him out in these Justice League movie billboards from last year.
Already an overseas smash, let's see how big a tidal wave Jason Momoa's Aquaman can make this holiday season in the U.S., because anyone who can rock orange and green armour as well as he does certainly has what it takes to rule the Christmas box office.

UPDATED: Aquaman continues to make a big splash overseas, grossing over $266 million before it even opens in America.
Here's a collection of more Aquaman billboards at Hollywood & Highland on December 19, 2018, featuring other characters like 'Mera', 'Queen Atlanna', 'King Orm', 'King Nereus', 'Vulko' and 'Black Manta' in the spotlight.
It looks like this is the next DC hero to follow in the successful solo footsteps of Wonder Woman at the box office.

UPDATED: Aquaman has now officially surpassed Wonder Woman's box office with $866 million to date versus $821 million, and here's another billboard from along Hollywood Boulevard on January 4, 2019.
